Loganair Bids Farewell to Dundee - What's Next?

So, Loganair's pulling out of Dundee! Just read that they're shutting down their base there and stopping the flights to London Heathrow. I guess the route wasn't making enough money, even with government support. It's a bummer for Dundee since they'll be left without any scheduled commercial flights now. Loganair's been there since 2008, so it's kind of the end of an era.

I wonder how this will affect the people working at Dundee Airport. Loganair says they'll try to help their employees find other jobs, but will everyone get something? Also, those connections to the Shetland Islands and Orkney are going away too, which can't be great for people who rely on those flights.

I guess it shows how tough it can be for regional airlines to keep less popular routes going. Anyone know if there's any chance another airline might step in and fill the gap? Or is Dundee stuck without flights for the foreseeable future? Pretty curious to see what happens next. Let me know what you all think!

That's a tough break for Dundee. Losing that connection to Heathrow is a big deal. I wonder if maybe some low-cost carrier could step in? But then again, they'd need a good reason to believe the route will be profitable. It might be a while before anyone takes that gamble. I feel for the airport staff too. Job relocations aren't always easy, especially in aviation where positions can be pretty specialized. Hope something works out for them.

Yeah, that's rough for Dundee. Loganair leaving is gonna leave a big gap, especially since it's the only airline operating there. Not sure if another airline will jump in right away. These smaller airports struggle because they're just not as profitable. I remember when Flybe pulled out of my local airport a few years back, and it took ages for things to pick up again. Hopefully, Dundee can attract a new operator, but it might take some time.

Dundee losing Loganair is a real blow. It's not just about the flights but also the impact on the local economy and connectivity. I wonder if the Scottish government might look into some kind of subsidy to attract another airline. But then again, with the way aviation's been struggling, I'm not sure anyone would take the bait. Maybe if there's enough demand, a smaller carrier or even a charter service might step in. Anyone from Dundee here? What's the local buzz about all this?

I think it's a real shame for Dundee. Those routes to the islands were a lifeline for some folks. Not sure who'll fill the gap. Maybe a smaller airline could take a chance, but the risk is huge. I remember when BMI pulled out of my local airport-took ages before anyone stepped in. If the Scottish government doesn't step up, Dundee could be stuck for a while. Anyone hear if there are talks with other airlines?
